Self-terminating ventricular fibrillation recorded by an implantable loop recorder as a cause of syncope - A case report.

Abstract:

:Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common arrhythmia leading to sudden cardiac death, but in rare cases VF can manifest as a syncope, provided that it will self-terminate. We present a case of a 45-year old female with a history of unexplained syncopal episodes despite exhaustive diagnostics. Implantable loop recorder documented an episode of idiopathic, self-terminating VF as a cause of syncope.

  • Does the abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiogram predict future appropriate therapy in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators?

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Several studies have documented the prognostic significance of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) both after myocardial infarction and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. However, whether the SAECG can identify patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) who receive appropriate therapy has ...
